About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Pros

Controls are easy to use

Makes hair shiny and smooth

Didn't get too hot to the touch in GHRI tests

Cons

Slow drying time

Our consumer testers got great results with the John Frieda Full Volume Hair Dryer without blasting their hair

Looking for smooth and shiny hair minus the high heat? Our consumer testers got great results with the John Frieda Full Volume Hair Dryer without blasting their hair. Consumer testers also commented on the dryer's "good wind power" and said it got their hair dry fast, though we found it's drying time longer than average in GHRI tests. This Conair model's low-surface temperature and simple controls make it plenty user-friendly however, and its moderate price is a nice bonus. A few volunteers commented that dryer was a little on the heavy side, and one wished for more direction on what types of styling the color-coded attachments were best suited for.
